Different Spring Festival
Today is Sping Festival, but I am not in a festival mood, not only because I am far away from my hometown. I believe that many people in China have the same feeling like me, especially the people who live in the south of China.
People who live in the north of China is busy with preparing for Spring Festival as usual, sticking Spring Festival couplets, hanging red lanterns, lighting firecracker, doing dumplings and expecting for New Year’s Eve entertainment which will be on tonight. Everyone pays attention to these festival affairs.
However, it is in the south of China that people are meeting Spring Festival in a totally different way. They can not have dumplings and wach entertainment programs, since the consistantly heavy snow cut electric circuit and water circuit.What’s worse,not every family can union on New Year’s Eve, because the countless people who worked far away from hometown can not be able to get on home-train promptly. That also is the result of heavy snow which deliberately delayed the speed of train.
Heavy snow has covered all the cars on street, so it is hard to move.
People gathered in the train station, waiting for the delayed trains.
